FoneRent already a winner at World Cup 2010

Visitors to South Africa for this World Cup have already been cautioned against using their home mobile because of the potential cost of roaming. Roaming costs are not controlled in South Africa as they are in Europe and users from the UK can expect rates as high as £1.50/$2.00 per minute to call home and around £1.00/$1.50 just to receive a call. Enter FoneRent, the UK based mobile phone hire specialist.

FoneRent has delivered a hammer blow to South African roaming rates with a phone and SIM rental service to give visitors a local number with Free Incoming calls, low rates minutes in Africa and more importantly cheaper calls home. Working with headline sponsor, MTN and also Vodacom, FoneRent is offering a range of clients from all over the world a choice of services including low cost mobile phones, wireless broadband hire and SIM Card rentals. In addition, working with Trafficmaster, the Company have provided peace of mind with an exclusive ‘Rescue Service’ based on GPS location phones and also 24/7 support, something talkSPORT, the national radio World Cup broadcaster have taken for all attendees.

David Gill, Marketing Director for FoneRent commented, ‘We are usually a business only supplier and we are looking after several teams plus a host of worldwide media, but the demand from fans looking to be safe, secure and save money has been unprecedented. As such, we have opened up the service to consumers with SIM card rental and low cost cell phone hire. We are already into the thousands of rentals with clients from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, across Europe and the Americas so a truly International event has brought us a truly International client base’.
